Description

Kalbi is a traditional Korean BBQ beef short rib dish marinated in a sweet soy mixture with garlic and green onion, grilled to caramelized perfection.

Ingredients

3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water
2 green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 pounds Korean-style short ribs (beef chuck flanken, cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick across bones)

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, water, green onions, garlic, and sesame oil together in a bowl until sugar has dissolved.
3 Place ribs in a large resealable plastic bag; pour in marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate. Remove ribs from the bag; shake off excess marinade and discard marinade. Grill ribs on the preheated grill until meat is still pink but not bloody nearest the bone, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
